Hey there Dennis329, thank you for reaching out and letting us know about your MeTV issues. I'm happy to hear you have access again, that's always the main concern. It may be hard to determine what that cause was since the issue is resolved now. Were you getting an error code or error message on screen?

No error code just a message that said I had to subscribe if I wanted to watch, It said to go to Xfinity.com and upgrade my stations but I already have that.

Dennis329, understood, we did have similar reports pop up over the last few days. Was this impacting all channels or specific to MeTV? The best step to resolving the related issue was either restarting your TV box or completing a system refresh.

Hey there user_gg7ehe, it's always annoying to go through any kind of service issue, especially when you're trying to relax and enjoy your favorite channels. Is MeTV the only network that is being impacted?

WHCT-LD TV in Hartford, Connecticut is a free to view, over-the-air TV station, which carries MeTV on its main 35.1 digital channel, so why do we have to pay extra to watch a FREE to view broadcast station such as MeTV??

I had the same issue. I ran a system refresh on my main box and MeTV is back.

user_lomcvq Performing a System Refresh on X1

  1. Press the A button on your remote control, or visit the Help section in Settings. (Saying “System Refresh” into your Voice Remote will take you to step three.)
  2. Highlight the System Refresh tile, and press OK.
  3. Please remember that performing a System Refresh will interrupt all X1 TVs and recordings in your home for up to 10 minutes. If you would like to proceed, highlight Refresh Now, and press OK.
  4. Once the System Refresh is in progress, don't unplug or turn off any of your TV Boxes, which will automatically restart during this process.
  5. The X1 Welcome screen will appear after the TV Box restarts.
  6. Once the System Refresh has been completed, your TV Box will return to live TV.

This is [Edited: "Language"]. Xfinity cable is getting worse and worse. I can’t believe we pay this much something and they take away stuff on you. Hopefully it’s a glitch. Xfinity needs to answer this forum.
